Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Neurotransmitter – A chemical released from a neuron following an action potential. The neurotransmitter travels across the synapse to excite or inhibit the target neuron. Different types of neurons use different neurotransmitters and therefore have different effects on their targets.
Detailed explanation-2: -Electrical impulse gets converted into chemical signal at the nerve terminal or synapse. When a nerve impulse reaches the nerve terminal or synapse, it stimulates the fusion of synaptic vesicles (pre and post synaptic vesicles) and release of neurotransmitter.
